Undercover Brother
A very frightening weapon was created, a strange drug that reduces the entire population to various mental zombies, but black people still have a spirit and are out of arms. At that moment, a man called Undercover Brother, Brother is a secret agent working for a group of well-known men such as the Muslim Brotherhood, a completely black judicial association, will be appointed to thwart the man's plan to block a presidential candidate named Colin Powell. Perhaps those operations by Undercover Brother are kept secret as well as slow. In the end, the secret weapon of the plot, Penelope Snow, a dangerous secret man, is discovered.

Every little piece of this project fell magically, hilariously in place, even if some of its gags don't quite hit the target.June 06, 2002
Even the soundtrack selections are second- or third-hand.June 11, 2002

Even during periods when the belly laughs subside, Griffin continues to keep it really amusing with his exuberant flair for physical comedy and mock-serious swagger.June 10, 2002
Instead of packing an R-rated, politically incorrect punch, the film goes for the easy laughs without getting too raunchy or violent, and the result is mildly amusing but mostly mediocre.November 10, 2010
"Undercover Brother" fares better as a blaxploitation spoof than as silly-spy shtick. Scathing but not scatological, "Brother's" withering insights are equal opportunity: Here, white guilt is as satirically punishable an offense as propping up prejudice.November 07, 2003
The problem is, that half the time I laughed myself silly, while the other half, I was egregiously offended.July 20, 2002
It's breezily entertaining and culturally specific without resorting to gross-out jokes or cruelty.February 08, 2008
Much funnier and craftier than it had any right to be.
